As if there isn't already enough pointless things that keeps you enslaved to your fancy laptops with cool stickers, Macbooks, or even the inherited Windows 7 desktop that doesn't come with an LCD monitor - Facebook, Twitter, reading my blog, Perez Hilton, Youtube, ONTD, tumblr, just to name a few - now let me introduce you to a game that will most certainly reduce the capacity of your intelligence to age 10.
It's called Minecraft.
I play it mostly because I am a huge fan of pointless games with no challenges or those that does not require much brain work like Sudoku (studying forensic anthropology and reading the British Medical Journal can be exhausting for my poor brain cells!) (On an irrelevant note, alcohol does not kill your brain cells: proof)
And surprisingly for once, this game is incredibly PG-13 - hell, even G. Basically it's lego in virtual form - there are paid versions, I obviously being a cheap stingy broke student didn't buy it but the game is still available for play with lesser features. (Click on Classic - single player in browser. If you have too much money go ahead and pay for a Beta account - you do get pretty much cooler cubes. I guess.)
The main aim of the game is supposedly lego/cube architecture where there are several different textured cubes (in 3D! so trendy) Apparently in the Beta version's main allure is the challenge of acquiring the building cube resources (unlimited in Classic) and they even threw in HPs, additional features, items, adversaries blablababal.
So the world you enter in Minecraft is hexhedron overdose, arranged in grids which quite pampers my OCD for straightness in things. Each block though are different: there are bricks, trees, flowers, dirt etcetc
So aspiring lego architects - this is your game. Though each time I play I feel my sad amount of aptitude in life surviving skills are being attenuated and my intelligence quotient actually drowns along with the ugly brick cubic buildings I construct. Clearly I have no talent in assembling or designing buildings.
The facileness of this game is ridiculous. So I recommend you get yourself hooked onto it. Now.
You might even be able to erect this structure! (do a Google Image search on brilliant Minecraft if you need inspiration)
I honestly respect the dud who managed to formulate such a complex structure out of .... building blocks my toddler cousins play with. Though I feel a little sad for said person.
Pointless post is pointless - just needed an excuse to write to score a gig in journalism. So expect less angsty emotionl stuff that are generally viewed as a teenager's wrist cutting fantasy. Yay blog updated! Now off for more ink - will be back soon with more insignificant views and opinions of mine on ridiculous issues/topics, e.g if caterpillar have eyes, goldfishes don't have such short term memories blahdiblah ok bai.
Lately my lack of sense in punctuality is worrying. Is that a sign of my fraying sanity? loljk
